Week 5 Football: Friday’s schedule and scores

First things first: White Plains at New Rochelle was pushed back a half hour tonight. They will kick off at 7.

I will be there to cover it as the Tigers try for their first win over the rival Huguenots since 2003. You can check out all the updates on Twitter @lohudinsider.

Rick Carpiniello will be at MacCalman Field as John Castellano returns to Nyack. As much as that is a motivation, Poughkeepsie, at 0-4, also desperately needs a win. You can catch Carp’s tweets @lohudcarp.

Nancy Haggerty will also be at Panas as the Panthers host Eastchester, which hopes to hang on to its slim playoff hopes while Panas looks to further solidify its credentials. You can follow along with Nancy @haggertynancy.

I’ll be sure to have final scores and recaps posted after the games tonight. Check back here later for much, much more.

New Rochelle 36, White Plains 26: At New Rochelle, the Huguenots beat White Plains for the 11th straight time in the 113th playing of their rivalry. New Rochelle now trails just 55-53-5 in the all-time series after winning 23 of the last 29 meetings.

The Huguenots scored twice in 14 seconds early in the fourth quarter to take a 29-26 lead. After Forrest cut it to a one-score game, Corey Holder and Demetrius Rodriguez sacked and stripped White Plains QB Cameron Crabbe and Rodriguez recovered at the 13. Forrest scored on the next play and later added another score.

Crabbe finished 14 for 31 for 295 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. The Tigers went ahead when a pass was tipped and floated to Will Ahern in stride. Ahern took it 58 yards for a score to give previously unbeaten White Plains a 26-14 lead.

States, keep the faith. The wins will come. Maybe next year, but they will come.

Barger a great guy and I have no problems with what he did, though do not know all the info. Helping kids is never wrong. Society has flaws. Systems have flaws. If a rich kid with a drug problem can get his record wiped clean with a good lawyer hired by Daddy’s big bucks then get a cush job later on on Wall Street, why should anyone object to Barger giving a little “aid” to kids so they have a better chance to get to college. Of course that assumes Barger did the worse, break the rules. And if he did do the worse, he did nothing wrong in the Just a Fact book…

Big Joe
Went to Rye game.It was only 12-0 mid 2nd. Then Ryedtives down and scores, intercepts a pass and returns it for another, holds on D then after a shanked punt runs two off tackle plays and scored again. Bingo 33-0 free substitution started in late 2 nd. I don’t even know the final score cause I went to Lakeland and caught the whole 2nd half. Lakeland just looked like a better team than Jay. I was very impressed with Flaherty, who was all over the field. Jay runs 95% of the time and lacks firepower….no way they can beat Rye, Harrison or Somers . I have now seen these four, Harrison, Brewster, TZ, Eastchester, Ossining, Spring Valley, and Lincoln. There is no one your Huskies are incapable of beating. I am probably heading to Yorktown tomorrow to see Greeley, and of course next week it will be Sleepy Hollow. That will make 14 teams, and I know less now than 5 weeks ago.

Well, it should show the non believers that Coach D. can Coach when he dosen’t have the super stars! 7 point underdogs and still win by 10. New Ro starts slow, but each week gets better. Have the upmost faith in the kids and Coaches.

This isn’t these kids fault. The schoolboard has falled these kids. Too many changes .. ego maniacs moves. There’s ton of talent on this team. Lots of speed. Jc not utilizing it correctly. The sceme doesn’t work for the personel. These refs also hate Cass … pok didn’t get any calls … just a rough season. Wow

Point blank. Barger didn’t cheat for any of those kids. Everyone assume he overly helped some poor black dump kid .. he just supported them …. give the kids some da.mn credit. These kids aren’t stup.id. They just had someone believe in them. They bought into his love and support. Barge is a dream and now pok is paying for it bcuz Ralph Coates wanted to be igno.rant/ ego maniac.

For what it’s worth, watching the Nyack game almost drove me to consume a few adult beverages (after I was home, of course…

In all seriousness, though, great job with all the posting here, especially those which noted the similarities between Poughkeepsie and Nyack. To that, I would add “passion for the game” as another similarity. After all, the PK faithful wouldn’t be up in arms over an 0-5 record if they didn’t care. It’s also why it will not be easy to accept the removal of Ken Barger from the PK coaching job, since he is the architect of the program which generated this passion…

Anyway, off to bed for me. Got to get ready for my girlfriend’s grandson’s birthday party. He just started kindergarten, so he’ll be eligible to suit up for PK in 2023…

Anyone read that puff piece on the Castellano lovefest. Was there even a game played? Nice to see that lohud is still in the dark on how Cas really is. Guy wears out his welcome every where he goes. Ask those quoted people off the record how they feel and you will get an entirely different answer. Nyack teachers coaching in Poughkeepsie, Nyack coaches who are not actual teachers in the district. Do some deeper digging lohud.

Pok Faithful the refs had nothing to do with this game. PK had far more penalties, but they were all obvious movement penalties.

There were some interesting calls on both sides just like every high school game. Cas almost pulled a brilliant call on a third and short and almost talked the refs into making it a 4th down.

Jordan Mews, Adonis, Quamel, Trevor, Kenny, Tommy, Jahnai all had great games. Nyack was the better team tonight and last week against Sleepy might be the best thing that happened to them.

One of the on sung heroes for Nyack play after play, game after game is Jimmy Weck. The kid does not miss a block, calls a great game for his line and stuffs the middle at nose.

He is a great player and a better kid. He just keeps making plays. Ask any of the players or coaches and he will be the standout.

#17 was the man tonight on defense. 2 interceptions, some huge hits and great secondary coverage.

PK is not far off. They had at least 10 motion penalties and most of them were one count away from being on time. They are getting closer and closer.

Nyack coaching staff had the team prepared on both sides of the ball. Ramponi and his coaches are doing an amazing job preparing these kids. Watch the film…

I also have to say the PK kids are great kids with a lot of class. I imagine this was a tough night for them in many ways and it has been a difficult year especially for the seniors. Markel Green is a very special young man.

If PK goes to Section 9 next year, there will be a lot of happy coaches in Section 1. They will be a force next year and in the future.

I am in moderation twice. Tried to pull the party aspect and the mention of “loss” but no luck.

One thing I have to say that is in moderation twice is that Jimmy Weck is doing an amazing job at center and nose. He just does not miss a block or read. Also does a great job on line calls. Really classy kid.

I have to say love the inside stories and entertaining conversation this blog provides. Some great characters and good perspective.There is nothing better than HS football!

earlier post?

Arlington QB – Brandon Tobin was very impressive tonight !
Threw a long TD and Ran for Two more scores !

Kid is full package-Intelligence,Size and athleticism !!!!
Admirals may surprise in late october !

What the?? This was in the middle of some great back and forth about POK/Cas situation. over under on blog screen names has to be at 10! Let the kids play do the talking, I hate to bring this young man into it, he is a decent player, but hes no daisy!! Really needs to win a close game a come from behind ex JJEF 2 weeks ago? Intangibles for a QB are as important as arm strength, and all his attributes that you posted above. You are what your record says you are hero or zero thats the position. Ill tell you this the sophmore from lourdes who lives in the district would be at the helm if he went to Arlington. He has played lights out, more yards and twice as many tds in 2 games then Tobin kid has in 4?? And oh yeah they are 4-0!! Yet to read a single post from his father like the above. I guess he understands that adding more pressure for kid to perform may not be the best thing. You think these kids dont read this stuff? If your reply is going to be about small school -etc etc OLL plays weak opponents,class B is little boy ball stop and think who you squared off with tonight. Im sorry to go off,but blogging is not going to get the kid a ride!! Best of luck this season-i am pulling for him to tear it up and win when it counts in the playoffs!!

I was at the WP NR game last night . And i saw a great player Forest make Coach D look real good . Why would he pass the ball and make the game close when all he had to is give forest the ball. Come on coach do like you’ve done in the past don’t coach let your players play!

I must give credit where credit is due….the RYE LINEMEN have really developed from the start, giving LIVINGSTON time ,AND THE RUNNERS HOLES…I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT THEY ARE NO.1 TODAY…ALSO ,I amm happy for my friends at newro especially PURPLE KING PPR…CHIEF AND RIVER INDIAN

Coach Barger was involved in a situation where some bad was going on and we don’t know how long it was occurring. Maybe teams of his past shouldn’t have been so complete. Maybe some players should’ve had not been playing. Not hating. Just curious

Just get rid of him! They are all one year contracts! Castellano has been a WHINNING mess from the beginning
Confucius – Things that are done, it is needless to speak about…things that are past, it is needless to blame
Castellano = Exxon

No football players were involved. It would help to know what you are talking about. He is a teacher and that includes the student body. Another teacher went overboard but Barger was the fall guy b/c folks were looking for a means to get him out.

Your completely wrong .. has nothing to do with the athletes, in general. The accusation is about giving “students” extra time and reading a few questions out loud on test. Barge Never cheated / gave answers or anything like that. Barge has too much character for that. He was my teacher for 2 years and i can attest to that … The man cared and was God sent .. Pok was doing great w/ him around. All he did was prove to kids that he cared / believed in them and they stepped up! Thanks for the school board for setting our HS back a few years. These kids are so disappointed. They miss Barger and talk about him everyday. We’ll be back tho! Sooner than you think! This community/these kids are strong and will continue to get back up. Even when its ur own that knock u down. Smh!

we all learn differently. We need to morph the public school curriculum to ensure audio and kinestetic learners can let their talents shine. Its being proven that kids that aren’t great with visual learning aren’t done, they think differently and need to be accommodated

Cass knows his football. The man lives and breaths it. Unfortunately he’s taking away the strength of these players w this wing t offense. Hes stuck in that old school approach / mentality. His coaching approach is also old school and TOO aggressive. You can force kids to respect u (to ur face) but u have to convince kids that u truly care about them (not ur legacy). Then they will run thru a wall for u. {i.e: Ken Barger} – Pok personnel is best in spread. It doesnt matter whos coaching, u spread these kids out and let them run/use their speed & athleticism, good things will happen. The wing t is set up for power running. First of all, with all the chances and drama going on this summer, Pok hasnt touched the weight room in over 6 months. These kids are attempting to play a power style offense w/ natural strength/ability and no weight room muscle. Doesnt work. The defense is pretty much a zone (cover a area) .. these kids been playing man/basis D since pop warner. All that reading/thinking on the field takes away from their ability to react, be aggressive and use their athleticism. All these chances are unfortunate and effects everyone and everything. Thanks Poughkeepsie School Board!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT….HARRISON was winning 41-0 at the half RT AND I LEFT TO GO TO YORKTOWN,,, HARRISON ONLY SCORED 1 TD THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF …PLUS IN USUAL FASHION ARTIE GAVE THEM 2 SCORES ,SO THEY WOULD HAVE SOME DIGNITY AND JOY AS I SAID FOOD FOR THOUGHT THATS WHAT I CALL CLASS
